My favorite is when right-wingers have all these silly fake Marx and Lenin quotes. Case in point, attributed to the latter:

"One of the basic conditions for the victory of socialism is the arming of the workers and the disarming of the bourgeoisie (the middle class)."

"The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation."

There are people who think Marxism is about high taxes and public schooling.

>There are people who think Marxism is about high taxes and public schooling.

This is especially funny considering:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_tax_resistance#Karl_Marx_prosecuted_for_promoting_tax_resistance.2C_1848

and Marxs opinion on the idea of state schooling. from Critique of the Gotha Programme:
https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1875/gotha/ch04.htm
>"Equal elementary education"? What idea lies behind these words? Is it believed that in present-day society (and it is only with this one has to deal) education can be equal for all classes? Or is it demanded that the upper classes also shall be compulsorily reduced to the modicum of education — the elementary school — that alone is compatible with the economic conditions not only of the wage-workers but of the peasants as well?
>"Universal compulsory school attendance. Free instruction." The former exists even in Germany, the second in Switzerland and in the United States in the case of elementary schools. If in some states of the latter country higher education institutions are also "free", that only means in fact defraying the cost of education of the upper classes from the general tax receipts. Incidentally, the same holds good for "free administration of justice" demanded under A, 5. The administration of criminal justice is to be had free everywhere; that of civil justice is concerned almost exclusively with conflicts over property and hence affects almost exclusively the possessing classes. Are they to carry on their litigation at the expense of the national coffers?
>This paragraph on the schools should at least have demanded technical schools (theoretical and practical) in combination with the elementary school.
>"Elementary education by the state" is altogether objectionable. Defining by a general law the expenditures on the elementary schools, the qualifications of the teaching staff, the branches of instruction, etc., and, as is done in the United States, supervising the fulfillment of these legal specifications by state inspectors, is a very different thing from appointing the state as the educator of the people! Government and church should rather be equally excluded from any influence on the school. Particularly, indeed, in the Prusso-German Empire (and one should not take refuge in the rotten subterfuge that one is speaking of a "state of the future"; we have seen how matters stand in this respect) the state has need, on the contrary, of a very stern education by the people.

Last quote is quite interesting. I should probably read that after Capital.

Also Albania abolished taxation. Just putting that out there.

But yeah fake quotes are annoying. Stalin has his fair share as well, the most famous probably being "a single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic."

None other than Joseph McCarthy invented the dumbest fake quote ever though. He once attributed this to Lenin: "The world cannot exist half slave and half free; it must be all slave."

Sometimes I find myself agreeing with fake Marxist quotes.

Most fake Stalin quotes can be divided between "badass Stalin" or "cynical Stalin who can see through things" rather than "COMRADES, ONLY THROUGH DESTROYING MOM-AND-POP STORES VIA DEBASING THE CURRENCY CAN WE TRULY WIN" conspiracy theory shit.

And now a fake Khrushchev quote: "You Americans are so gullible. No, you won’t accept communism outright, but we’ll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you’ll finally wake up and find you already have communism. We won’t have to fight you. We’ll so weaken your economy until you’ll fall like overripe fruit into our hands."

Notice how blatantly reformist all these quotes sound. They were originally invented so that whomever was propagating them could link the Soviets to the Democrats or UN or whatever.

I like this fake Stalin quote >>51

I've also heard a version where "enemies" was replaced by "people".

After skipping past the intro stuff this is pretty good. Thanks for posting. Is this produced directly for youtube or does it come from elsewhere?
